I like this movie. I just have to remember not to be a stickler for requiring it to make sense. It’s fun though.

BTW, I interrupted my bingewatch of HIDDEN ASSETS, season 1 (2021) on Prime to join

s1 features Angeline Ball as the lead detective of Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) which can seize all proceeds of illegal activities: homes, cars, phones, everything

You may recognize Ma. Ball from THE COMMITMENTS, recently revisited on

@JanineFromPgh HIDDEN ASSETS hops back and forth between Ireland and Belgium -- money laundering, terrorism, and murder as a sideline

I'm up to s1e5 (6 eps per season -- 3 seasons) and like it so far but Ms. Ball's cop is replaced after s1

I also gave in today & paid Prime $2.99/mo to GET RID OF THE FREAKING ADS 'cos I was watching CROSS season 2, eps 1-3

@klu9 @JanineFromPgh well it's an AcornTV series, originally broadcast on RTE in Ireland, so I guess their distribution ain't great 😆

Ok. First ad break and a chance to type.
Loving the story. Good fight scenes.
Straw hat man is cool, as is red Pai.

Masks a little sus, especially the one that has a beard drawn onto it!

Right, back with the reading.

Driving back and forth to the bank all week I noticed a sign for a new spot a few blocks away called Desayuno. Gorgeous morning so I walked down there earlier. Tiny little spot. Marco was reading the paper when I went in. Awesome chilaquiles and little mini asada tacos.
